Las Vegas is wrapping up Saturday, Jan. 24, under clear, bone-dry skies, with valley thermometers hanging in the mid-50s and a brisk north-northwest breeze still showing up at local stations. Humidity is notably low, and the air can feel downright gusty at times across the valley floor and the higher terrain. Overnight, valley lows are expected to slip into the mid-30s before nudging back toward the upper 30s by early Sunday morning.
Tonight Into Early Sunday
Skies stay clear from late Saturday into early Sunday, Jan. 24–25, with an overnight low near 36°F and a slight rebound to around 38°F in some spots before daybreak. Forecast north-northwest winds should run about 6–13 mph, with occasional gusts up to 20 mph. Along the Lower Colorado River Valley, near Laughlin and Lake Havasu, terrain-boosted gusts could still spike into the 30–40 mph range, kicking up a 1–3 foot chop on area lakes.
According to the National Weather Service, lingering showers south of I-10 are expected to clear out this evening, with winds gradually easing for most locations as the night wears on.
Sunday And The Week Ahead
Sunday, Jan. 25, will be sunny and the coolest day in this short stretch, with a high near 58°F. After that, Las Vegas heads into a gentle warm-up next week: highs climb into the low-to-mid 60s by Tuesday and then into the mid-60s to upper 60s by Thursday and Friday.
Ridging over the western United States keeps the pattern locked on dry and slightly above-normal temperatures through the end of the month, with generally light breezes across the Las Vegas Valley. For a refresher on how feisty the winds have been lately along the river, check out our earlier coverage of recent gusty winds over Lake Mohave and Laughlin.
What To Expect
Drivers will mostly just notice a few blustery stretches, with limited impact on commutes. The bigger issues are on the water and around any loose items outside. Boaters and small-craft operators near Laughlin and Lake Mohave should plan for choppy conditions and may want to hold off until winds settle down a bit.
The National Weather Service is asking weather spotters to report any significant conditions or impacts, and anyone looking to stay ahead of the forecast can keep tabs on updates through the agency’s local forecast page.
